Peanut Butter and Milk Chocolate Pudding

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...What do you have a taste for? Today's adventure started with that simple question. The answer came quickly and was as straightforward as the question. It turns out, he wanted something made with chocolate and peanuts. Peanuts were out, but I knew I could make him something that was more easily digestible yet still peanut flavored. Last year, I made a special dessert from a recipe that I had found in Bon Appetit magazine. It was a layered pudding that contained chocolate, peanut butter and whipped cream. I'd love to tell you, we loved that pudding, but, truth be told, it was simply too rich for our palates. The first bite was delicious, but the pudding quickly became cloying and its creaminess left an unpleasant coating on the tongue. Normally, I would have tossed the recipe, but the taste of that first bite was so extraordinary it convinced me that the pudding was worth saving. I did some experimenting and by eliminating the heavy cream I was able to make something we really liked. Now I must tell you there are folks out there who love the richness of the original dessert. For that reason, the recipe that appears below is an exact copy of the one that appeared in the magazine. I used only milk in the pudding layers I made tonight and cut way back on the amount of cream I used to top them. I effectively ditched the richness but kept the flavor of the combination we like so much. If you like puddings, I hope you'll give this dessert a try. Here's the original recipe.

Thank you for your nice words when you visited my blog! I'm glad you stopped by. I love this peanut butter and chocolate pudding you made. Although, I can see what you mean about the ingredients being rather sweet, it sure is the perfect combination. It looks beautiful in the glass layered so nicely. I am a new follower, and I am looking forward to getting to know you and your blog!

I love this dessert. It's simple and the presentation is awesome! Sometimes I like when there is cream in pudding but only with flavor like lemon, for example! With chocolate, it's definitly too rich, I agree with you!

Yum! Funny coincidence, just yesterday I finally got around to satisfying that peanut butter and chocolate craving I've been having for weeks. I chose to do it with a brownie batch, but this pudding would most likely have done the trick too!

Wow, what a stunner! I love those nice, thick, beautiful layers! And peanut butter pudding? Holy cow!! That's got to be a huge explosion of flavor in your mouth :) But I can see how it might be really rich, I can't eat a lot of puddings because of that very reason. But gosh, this is something I would definitely eat!
